Almost every post I write, someone tells me to take it down. Not kidding. In general, I have found that people who are mentioned in a post have the uncanny ability to misread a post in fifty different ways and then stress about all of them. People give very little consideration to a blog post until they are in it — then they think the whole world revolves around the blog post.

I have lost one friend from a blog post. Family members no longer ask me to take down the posts. They just brace themselves each day the feed arrives. Do you read David Sedaris? I read that at Christmas he gave everyone in his family a present along with a letter from his
publisher that he needed family members to sign that said they wouldn’t sue the publisher. I always imagine that if I were Christian, that’s how my Christmas would be.
